Why changed your trust after getting a negative trust?
Simple: Other DT members suggested that this is the appropriate step to make as the rating was borderline acceptable.
By borderline acceptable, you mean unacceptable, right?
Lauda called someone retarded in March 2016, then when I called lauda out about how this is not appropriate behavior of a moderator, I received a negative rating from Lauda regarding an unrelated issue that had allegedly happened then-6 months ago.
Correct. I was out of line, and I've learned better thanks to you pointing that out. Your rating has nothing to do with that.
It seems that this was not the last time you left a negative rating after a very long time the reason for the rating has been very public information, you gave
defcon23 a negative rating over a year after the alleged indiscretion. There are some other indiscretions that you have not left negative ratings for after being public for a very long time, but I am fairly certain that you don't want to talk about that either.
The rating defcon23..
I don't even want to comment on this person.
I am sure you don't. Your maturity, or lack thereof was well documented in your dealings with him....
